Friends Fund XXXV (Hydro Friends)
and Riverbank Hydro No. 4, LLC
(Riverbank Hydro) filed preliminary
permit applications, pursuant to section
4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing
to study the feasibility of a hydropower
project at the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers’ (Corps) Lock and Dam No. 5,
located on the Mississippi River near
Minnesota City, Minnesota, in Winona
County, Minnesota, and Buffalo County,
Wisconsin. The sole purpose of a

term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform
any land-disturbing activities or
otherwise enter upon lands or waters
owned by others without the owners’
express permission.
Hydro Friends’ proposed Project
Oscar Project No. 14136–000 would
consist of: (1) A 109-foot-wide, 40-foothigh lock frame module placed in a new
gate constructed in the downstream
portion of an inactive, incomplete
auxiliary lock of the Lock and Dam No.
5; (2) a 109-foot-wide, 40-foot-high lock
frame module placed east of the
movable section of the Lock and Dam
No. 5 in an existing levee of the east
abutment; (3) a new switchyard and
control room located on the eastern side
of the dam; and (4) a new 3-mile-long,
115-kilovolt transmission line extending
from the switchyard to a nearby
distribution line which would feed the
project power to the grid. Each lock
frame module would consist of ten 7foot-diameter hydropower turbines each
rated at 650 kilowatts (kW) based on a
design head of 9 feet with a total rated
capacity per module of 6.5 megawatts
(MW) resulting in a total project
installed capacity of 13 MW. Each
module would be equipped with fish/
debris screens located upstream of each
module and control door assemblies
that can open and close off flow to the
units when needed. The project’s
average annual generation would be
79,770 megawatt-hours (MWh), and the
project would operate run-of-release.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 153 / Tuesday, August 9, 2011 / Notices
Application for a New License pursuant
to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the
Commission’s regulations thereunder.
The Claytor Hydroelectric Project is
located on the New River in Pulaski
County, Virginia.
The license for Project No. 739 was
issued for a period ending June 30,
2011. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16
U.S.C. 808(a)(1), requires the
Commission, at the expiration of a
license term, to issue from year-to-year
an annual license to the then licensee
under the terms and conditions of the
prior license until a new license is
issued, or the project is otherwise
disposed of as provided in section 15 or
any other applicable section of the FPA.
If the project’s prior license waived the
applicability of section 15 of the FPA,
then, based on section 9(b) of the
Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.
558(c), and as set forth at 18 CFR
16.21(a), if the licensee of such project
has filed an application for a subsequent
license, the licensee may continue to
operate the project in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the license
after the minor or minor part license
expires, until the Commission acts on
its application. If the licensee of such a
project has not filed an application for
a subsequent license, then it may be
required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b),
to continue project operations until the
Commission issues someone else a
license for the project or otherwise
orders disposition of the project.
If the project is subject to section 15
of the FPA, notice is hereby given that
an annual license for Project No. 739 is
issued to the Appalachian Power
Company for a period effective July 1,
2011 through June 30, 2012, or until the
issuance of a new license for the project
or other disposition under the FPA,
whichever comes first. If issuance of a
new license (or other disposition) does
not take place on or before June 30,
2012, notice is hereby given that,
pursuant to 18 CFR 16.18(c), an annual
license under section 15(a)(1) of the
FPA is renewed automatically without
further order or notice by the
Commission, unless the Commission
orders otherwise.
If the project is not subject to section
15 of the FPA, notice is hereby given
that the Appalachian Power Company is
authorized to continue operation of the
Claytor Hydroelectric Project, until such
time as the Commission acts on its
application for a subsequent license.

Liberty Gas Storage, LLC; Notice of
Filing
Take notice that on July 25, 2011,
Liberty Gas Storage, LLC (Liberty)
submitted a request for confirmation
that it is not required to file FERC Form
No. 2–A and will not be applicable until
such time as the actual volume
transactions on Liberty exceed 200,000
Dth for three consecutive calendar
years. Liberty argues that given the low
levels of total volume transactions on
Liberty’s pipeline system during the
preceding three calendar years, Liberty
does not meet the threshold for filing a
Form 2–A. Liberty, in fact, has never
met this threshold since it placed its
initial facilities into service in 2007.
Since the Form No. 3–Q filing
requirement is applicable only when a
natural gas company is obligated to file
a Form 2–A, Liberty likewise believes
that it is not required to file a Form No.
3–Q under present circumstances.
Liberty requests the issuance of an order
or other determination on this request
for confirmation by September 1, 2011,
which is the requested effective date for
new, cost-based rates on Liberty’s
system.
Any person desiring to intervene or to
protest this filing must file in
accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of
the Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 or 385.214).

[[Page 48841]]
Application for a New License pursuant to the Federal Power Act (FPA)
and the Commission's regulations thereunder. The Claytor Hydroelectric
Project is located on the New River in Pulaski County, Virginia.
The license for Project No. 739 was issued for a period ending June
30, 2011. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C. 808(a)(1), requires
the Commission, at the expiration of a license term, to issue from
year-to-year an annual license to the then licensee under the terms and
conditions of the prior license until a new license is issued, or the
project is otherwise disposed of as provided in section 15 or any other
applicable section of the FPA. If the project's prior license waived
the applicability of section 15 of the FPA, then, based on section 9(b)
of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 558(c), and as set forth
at 18 CFR 16.21(a), if the licensee of such project has filed an
application for a subsequent license, the licensee may continue to
operate the project in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
license after the minor or minor part license expires, until the
Commission acts on its application. If the licensee of such a project
has not filed an application for a subsequent license, then it may be
required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b), to continue project operations
until the Commission issues someone else a license for the project or
otherwise orders disposition of the project.
If the project is subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
hereby given that an annual license for Project No. 739 is issued to
the Appalachian Power Company for a period effective July 1, 2011
through June 30, 2012, or until the issuance of a new license for the
project or other disposition under the FPA, whichever comes first. If
issuance of a new license (or other disposition) does not take place on
or before June 30, 2012, notice is hereby given that, pursuant to 18
CFR 16.18(c), an annual license under section 15(a)(1) of the FPA is
renewed automatically without further order or notice by the
Commission, unless the Commission orders otherwise.
If the project is not subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
hereby given that the Appalachian Power Company is authorized to
continue operation of the Claytor Hydroelectric Project, until such
time as the Commission acts on its application for a subsequent
license.
